Can't remember the excact name of the place, but Ford/Mazda in Manukau that does a full clean/groom for a bit over $100. I think they clean your engine bay and stuff as well.

pull up at those indians at manukau westfields, the car grooming place where they wash it while u shop, for $45 they wash and polish inside and out....all good job they did on mine when it was dirty as...plus pull out $40 and say thats all u got and theyll take it cos they never have change lol..
or you could get a full body glaze cut and polish from a paint shop
we must all think alike cause that's exactly what I want to do except I want proffesional cut and polish instead... I can't be bothered to De tar my car

the best place to get your car groomed is your own drive way.
No one is going to take the same TLC as you would.

exactly, go to repco and buy some mothers wash and wax, a decent cloth, and then all you need is a hose and a bucket and youll be sweet and will have heaps left over for next time. Works a treat aswell.

Absolutely - "at home" is what I would say too. Anyway helps if you have a professional buffer (or should that be fluffer :thumbsup: ).
Carfe is one I have seen near Greenlane.
Mind you, watch out if you leave it at a place, check your speedo mate /yes

I used Mothers 3 step polish and wax. 1: Prewax 2: Glaze and sealer 3: Wax. Does make a big difference. For wheels, use mothers wheel cleaner, put a bit on a brush then apply, add a bit of water to the brush and hit it again, hose off and the wheel is mint.
Get of ur arse Don :)

Just use a 100% horse hair brush, other paint brushes with the cheap plastic hair on them will scratch ur paint work. Also wrap the metal bit up in some duct tape so u dont scratch the paint.
